Retirement Living in Serene Lake Macquarie

Perched at the foothills of the Watagans Mountains in the green heartland of Lake Macquarie, encased between the blue azure lake and lush mountain forest, Catalina Lake Macquarie Retirement Village provides an exceptional lifestyle for over 55 retirees wanting affordable luxury in an idyllic location, one hour from Sydney.

With an aquatic playground twice the size of Sydney Harbour as its centrepiece, an abundance of nature and pristine waterways on its doorstep, and unspoilt coastlines and stunning vineyards to explore – all while being within easy reach of Sydney – it really is the perfect lifestyle destination for over 55s seeking a sea, tree, or green change with plenty of change to spare. Why choose when you can have it all?

Just under an hour’s drive on the M1 from Sydney’s north, you’ll never be far away from the familiar delights of city living. Offering the best of both worlds, you’ll be free to dip in and out as you please, with the beauty and serenity of Catalina Lake Macquarie beckoning you back when you’ve had your fill of the bustling Sydney metropolis.

A retirement lifestyle village without compromise for Sydneysiders

For Sydney retirees considering a downsizing move, who wish to remain in close proximity to family and friends, but escape the hustle, bustle and price tag of city living, Catalina Lake Macquarie ticks all the boxes as a senior living option for Sydneysiders.

With resort-style facilities and luxury ground-level homes in an award-winning over 55s community, Catalina provides incredible value for money and is a much more affordable alternative to other Sydney retirement villages and homes so close to the centre of Sydney and without compromise.

Furthermore, where once the Central Coast was a preferred retirement destination for downsizers and over 50s, the steady influx of Sydneysiders seeking more affordable housing within an easy commute to the city, has seen both property prices and traffic rapidly rise in recent years.

Yet just to the north of the Central Coast, on its border, lies the picturesque Lake Macquarie region that offers all the aquatic wonders and retirement lifestyle benefits of its neighbours, but without the traffic congestion or expensive cost of living.

An Award-winning retirement village without the city price tag

Catalina Lake Macquarie is an architecturally designed, master-planned over 55s retirement community that’s built with residents’ future needs top of mind. Our range of brand-new freestanding retirement homes are for sale starting from the mid $500,000s.

Recognised as a leader in its field, Catalina is the winner of the prestigious 2019 HIA’s Hunter Region Specialised Housing Award and a finalist in the 2020 Australian Housing Awards. This is a testament to their vision to build an affordable but luxurious over 55s retirement village in the Hunter region and beyond.
